Concept Development (Verification and Validation Plans)
Verification Plan- These are some of the major restrictions/rules/resources that our robot must adhere to:
-4 servos (remember servos are for fine movements, not for power or torque)
-2 Large motors, 2 small motors
-2 x 2 x 2 feet maximum size at the beginning of the match.
-Cannot exceed 24 pounds.
-Mostly working with wood or light metal, don't envision using heavy/sophisticated materials.
Validation Plan - These are the objectives we want to accomplish with our robot
Note: These are just suggestions, your brainstorming design do not have to necessarily accomplish all these tasks...but we certainly want you to try, or maybe even exceed these suggestions.
Claw
-ability to grab all objectives.
-possibility of grabbing multiple objects at once
-maximum rotation and motion flexibility
Arm
-able to reach a maximum range of 55 inches (4 1/2 ft)
-be able to score NAND transistors into the NAND container at stage 1
-able to reach short distances also for objectives that are close up, such as the hangers
-360 degrees arm rotation.
Notes:
-Flexibility: we want all parts of the robot to have flexibility for the driver, allowing leeway for errors during the competition. They will have a much easier time if they don't have to take much time aiming for objectives during the matches.
- Sustainability: This robot will go through almost a dozen matches potentially, the design needs to be solid and not fall apart easily, especially if the arm has to reach great distances (which it will have to)
-Simplicity: The simpler the robot, the easier it is to fix, operate, and build, along with less chances of failing during the competition.
NOTE THE VERIFICATION PLAN AGAIN!! Do not make a design that needs more than the resources that are available to us!
